Walker Update, #2

When we went to see Walker yesterday, the vet told us today would be the day she would use endoscopy to try to diagnose the source of the vomiting and especially the blood in the vomit.

When Tim called to check on him this morning, a different vet told Tim that if Walker was his dog, he would take him to the UGA Vet School for diagnosis and treatment. !!!!!!!!!

With the help of our SEGA friends, we were able to have Walker transported from Macon to the SEGA vet. The SEGA vet has tons of experience with greyhounds. He explained several tests he plans to run straight away. Unfortunately, or fortunately, Walker vomited as soon as he entered the vet's office. Therefore, those tests began immediately.

Thank you for your comments, phone calls and e-mail messages. It's easy to feel that you're alone in a situation like this one. Knowing that people care about our sweet boy helps a lot.

Oh, no! I was hoping that he was on his way home, but it sounds like he'll get the help he needs. So sorry for all of you during this time of "not knowing." Walker, you are in my thoughts & prayers...big time.
